CR - Do you mean fish with jigs while trolling? or anchor the boat and fish with down rods or with a cork? So if trolling, is it the weight of the jig that puts it deeper in the water? You don't have any other weight on it? I am assuming you have the jig tied directly to the end of the line. (No swivel?) It doesn't just lay on the top of the water as you troll?

Going to Oologah today and Saturday at Vada ramp. Thought we would try it. I heard it is going to be windy today though. We have an aluminum Pro Crappie 175 with 40 hp Mercury. We are still learning to drive the boat, so if we get in anyone's way....either video us, laugh at us, help us, or get out of our way! :D :D We won't hit your boat or anything.....we are just klutzes on the water. :D
